When I first started studying astrology and learning about my natal chart, I caught myself thinking, “I wish my parents had known that when I was born.” I realized how many misconceptions, projections, painful misunderstandings and emotional traumas could have been avoided had my parents been instructed in the nature of the child they had just received.
